Bit of a confused review here – I ran into a lot of things that I didn’t like, but by the end it had clawed its way back considerably.
TLDR: There are design elements I don’t like, and arguably its more a corruption game than an NTR one (it’s focussed on cheating, the MC never knows about it other than in the endings). However, as the game reaches the latter half there is so much really hot sex that honestly I just had to give it credit.
Longer assessment: The game is a bonkfest, very high focus on a high volume of sex scenes. When the game starts the writing and pacing is a little jarring as it rushes from moment to moment very fast. In the opening it goes from hiring the employee to dinner at the house to girls night out in about three minutes. This is a barrier to sophisticated storytelling – it doesn’t really have that. Basic elements of the premise are implausible – why was this employee hired if she’s never at work? However, in its defence because there is a very small cast of characters they do get a lot of time spent on their development, such as it is.
The characters are a bit offputting – the husband is a lovey sap neglecting his wife’s needs, the wife is a wimp and a cheat, and the employee had a baseline mode of pantomime villain that never quite goes away. Honestly it’s not a very good presentation of trans women, who uniformly come across as predators in this game. The writing plays quite fast and loose with the POV of these characters, to little gain.
However, the writing in the sex scenes is good. Although it starts out slow with a reluctant approach to vanilla acts, as the game goes on the more kinky sex scenes show up with greater frequency – and the entire second half is a buffet of BDSM and wild debauchery. Not the most extreme stuff, but well handled. I want to stress this aspect because ultimately this massively improved my experience.
Tied into the kinkier sex, I should say that the choice system eventually pays off – initially the choices seem somewhat irrelevant and railroadey, and many choices are purely cosmetic. But there are some choices that matter, and an array of 6-8 or so endings that feel quite organic to navigate to once you are settled in.
It’s not that the art is bad, but the lack of images is quite lazy. In some scenes the characters are supposedly stripping or something, but the sprite doesn’t alter. All it would take is one more image for the scene to have some visual accompaniment. For example, there’s a scene with body writing that never appears – seems like a missed opportunity.
It also lacks a little polish in some areas – sometimes longer passages of text disappear off the bottom of the screen and can only be read in History. Sometimes the character’s selected names default to [surname].
So yeah, a second attempt at a TLDR. Basically the whole game feels quite half-arsed, apart from the fact that somebody wrote dozens of hot sex scenes and endings. In the end I’ll give it three, but it’s peaks are clearly four – but the blemishes in execution drag it down.
I would like to see more Infidelisoft games, but strangely I don’t really feel like NTR themes are their forte.
